The Goblin's Christmas: Festive Folklore for Sleepless Minds

Do you have any thoughts or ideas about the show? Send us a text!

Hello Creatives,

Step into a world of holiday magic as we close out 2024 with a spellbinding Christmas episode. Let me welcome you to a cosy fireside reading of "The Goblin's Christmas," an enchanting poem from 1908 by Elizabeth Anderson that perfectly captures the mischievous spirit of the season.

This festive tale transports you to Goblin Town, where magical beings gather under the moonlight for revelry and pranks. When Kris Kringle appears with his sleigh and reindeer, the goblins attempt to capture him—only to discover he possesses powerful magic of his own. Through beautiful, rhythmic verses, we follow this Christmas adventure as Santa cleverly transforms these troublesome sprites into toys for children around the world.

Whether you're winding down after holiday festivities or seeking a moment of tranquillity during the busiest time of year, this gentle reading provides the perfect soundtrack for drifting into peaceful slumber.
Join us for this magical conclusion to our year, and stay tuned for more enchanting bedtime stories and creative inspirations in 2025.
We've already lined up wonderful new guest readers and exciting collaborations to help fuel your creative dreams in the coming year.

The episode also brings exciting news as we announce our collaboration with Acting Hub UK, a valuable free resource for performers and creators.
Founder Vlad makes a special appearance to introduce the platform's mission of elevating actors and their projects.
